Hi everyone.

Len - It sounds like you've done everything right; there are as many different potting mixes as there are growers and the mix you have made should work OK. The only thing I would question is the pot size; if they are just pups you bought, the pots may be too large which could result in the mix staying too moist.

Just keep and eye on them especially during these colder months and don't over water. Make sure the water runs freely from the bottom of the pots when you weather them.

Never forget that most of the brom's we grow are naturally epiphytes (they grow on trees) they love good air circulation and don't like wet roots. In my opinion, watering once every two weeks is sufficient at this time of the year where I live and as you are in a cooler climate you could even leave it a bit longer, however check your plants and be guided by what you observe.

Remember more plants are killed by too much water than too little, and if you suspect any problems, just post a line or two on this forum and I'm sure someone will help you out with advice.

All the best, Nev.

Thanks for the advice Nev. The majority of the plants are large. With the pups I've planted 3 per pot. I watered them once planted but have no intention of watering them through Winter especially given the big wet we are experiencing at the moment. Hopefully it won't be too wet through winter.thanks :)
